Restoration Projects
The aim of a restoration is to take an artifact from its current state to an earlier, known state. For aircraft at the Museum this process can be as simple as preserving a recently retired aircraft, protecting an aircraft from further deterioration, or be as complex as a complete rebuild of an aircraft to an 'as new' or ‘when in service’ condition. Some projects are based around a complete artifact whereas others have begun with a collection of various parts that have been salvaged from many different sources; it is then up to Museum staff and volunteers to return these objects to a restored state. This process will involve many steps and will always view the preservation of original components and assemblies as the most important consideration for the restoration.
